Yes, Trump beat a big field to become president, he is more popular among GOP voters than any rival, many elected Republicans fear publicly crossing him at the moment, and he is influential in setting the tone in Washington. Still, the conclusion that he has taken over the Republican Party is overstated and premature.

Good article, and I generally agree. I've long felt that all the over-the-top chatter and screaming about how Trump has changed pretty much the entire world is wildly exaggerating his importance. Not to mention feeding his ego in such a way as to exacerbate the problem. No one person less than two years into a term who had no prior political power can be anything even close to what is being so apocalyptically described - certainly not in what's left of a democracy that still works. If we've anything to really fear it's our citizenry being systematically dumbed down ... but not only do I still believe the majority is learning, largely due to Trump, that we need to work harder to preserve what we've taken for granted, I have faith that we'll eventually up the game.
Trump is a tiny man in a big job, and it's painfully obvious. To give him credit, even power, for being more than that is absurd.
